Table rock as seen from the ranger station before you get to the park, don't forget to stop here if you're stamping your ultimate outsider book! You can avoid paying the fee to get into the park by going here for the stamp, but this park is so nice, why would you not go in and enjoy it?!
The hike to the top of the rock can be difficult, stick to Carrick Creek if you need a hike that's not quite as strenuous!
Once you get to the main trail-head it splits for the loop. The trail is marked well in both directions so you can go either way and not get lost. Neximus wanted to start off going right, so to the right we went!
There are a few spots along this trail where you have to cross some water. Usually the water's not that high, however with all the rain we've had they made for some skipping and jumping at points!
Apparently he thought he was the official guide for the trail! There's plenty of variety on this trail, from the trees to streams and waterfalls.
The trail splits and you can continue on the Pinnacle Mountain trail. Pinnacle Mountain trail is long and rather difficult plan appropriately if you're hiking this trail. Let's just stick to Carrick Creek today!
There are so many waterfalls and shoals along this trail. Some parts of the trail bring you right out to them, others you get just a peek at them.
This is probably one of the more famous falls at the park, this greets you as you enter the main trailhead and is a good place to rest at the end of a hike!
Here is a video of several of the waterfalls at the park.
I hope you enjoyed our trip to Table Rock State Park! With everything to do here this is a park that I keep coming back to. The trails are great and well maintained. I highly recommend this park.
